Secret Forest - Forest swastika - Netflix

The forest swastika was a patch of larch trees covering 0.36 ha (0.89
acres) area of pine forest near Zernikow, Uckermark district,
Brandenburg, in northeastern Germany, arranged to look like a swastika
with their light colors.

Reports say the larches were planted in 1938. It is unclear how the
trees came to be planted and arranged in such a fashion. It seems they
were planted in commemoration of Adolf Hitler's birthday, either by
local Hitler Youth members or by a warden. For a few weeks every year in
the autumn and in the spring, the colour of the larch leaves would
change, contrasting with the deep green of the pine forest. The short
duration of the effect, combined with the fact that the image could only
be discerned from the air and the relative scarcity of privately owned
airplanes in the area, meant that the swastika went largely unnoticed
after the fall of the Nazi Party. During the subsequent Communist
period, Soviet authorities reportedly knew of its existence but made no
effort to remove it. However, in 1992, the reunified German government
ordered aerial surveys of all state-owned land. The photographs were
examined by forestry students, who immediately noticed the design.
